Perseverance Mars rover spies big sunspot rotating toward Earth (photos)::NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has captured photos of a big sunspot, which should rotate into view for those of us on Earth in the coming days.
The technological part of this is very cool. But after the last few years I can’t help but think, “I wonder how much damage the inevitable solar flare is going to do?”
Depending on the severity it could really be a societal roll of the dice. Could be for the better or for the worse but either way it would cause a decent amount of suffering in the short term.
